| Comment | The AB32 Scoping Plan is our big chance to get it right. Please
don't be timid. Two main things need to be changed in the draft
Scoping Plan to make it really work -- otherwise we'll do too
little and create only the illusion that we're having any impact on
climate change.
1) Change cap-and-trade to cap-and-auction. Make polluters pay for
emission allowances, or we'll get nowhere.
2) Severely limit the use of offsets in the Plan. That's the only
way we'll get change in practices.
While you're at it, stronger requirements for businesses to
recycle and for better community planning would be good too, but
without the two measures above, these won't be effective by
themselves.
Thanks,
Sherry Boschert
